Pillow Box Valentine's Day Treat Holder

Each year I try to make a different treat holder for Valentine's Day to help out all those room mothers out there ;) Since my boys are 18 & 23 I don't get to play room mother anymore but maybe in about 5-6 years I can play room grandma - LOL!!

Anyway, here is a typical pillow box holder shrunk down a bit. The size will vary depending on how large you want to print it out. I printed mine approx. 5 3/8 x 4 5/8" for a finished inside diameter is approx. 2.5x 2.25. The outside is a bit longer if you include the pointy ends. I was able to fit 4 pieces of Dove Chocolate hearts to give you an idea of what you can fit inside.

I left them plain because I wanted you to see the stamping but you could add ribbons, tags, or other embellishments to spice them up a bit. You could use these not only for Valentine's Day but they are great anytime you want to give a small gift, treat or other goodie. Simply change the stamps and embellishments and you're set to go!

This is so sweet. Thank you so much for the template. This is perfect for earrings, and small pieces of jewelry. What I like is that you can stamp and embellish to fit the gift or the person you are giving it to. Thank you again.
